Athletic Placement Process (APP)

The intent of the Athletic Placement Process (formerly
Selection Classification) is to provide for students in grades 7
through 12 a mechanism allowing them to participate safely at an
appropriate level of competition based upon readiness rather
than age and grade. Students do not mature at the same rate and
there can be a tremendous range of developmental differences
between students of the same age.

The program is not to be used
to fill positions on teams, provide additional experience,
provide a place for junior high students when no modified
program is offered, or reward a student. Instead, it is aimed at
the few select students who can benefit from such placement
because of their level of readiness. It will also be fairer to
other students on the modified teams. This State Education
program extends the high school eligibility of middle school
students who are qualified.
